FAQs
What size is the 'X Large' equivalent to?
The X Large in this dress is designed for UK women's dress sizes 20-22, as indicated by the Ann Summers sizing guide.
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, machine washing is not recommended due to the delicate velvet, faux fur, and diamante embellishments. Hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent is advised to preserve the garment's quality.
Is the faux fur detachable?
No, the faux fur trim on the hem and sweetheart neckline is sewn onto the dress and is not designed to be detachable.
Is this dress suitable for outdoor wear?
The dress can be worn for outdoor festive events, but its materials are not designed for harsh weather. Consider adding a warm coat or jacket if wearing it outdoors in cold temperatures.
How do I prevent the diamantes from falling off?
Handle the dress gently, especially around the straps and waistband. Avoid harsh washing, rubbing, or snagging the embellished areas. Store it carefully to prevent pressure on the diamantes.
What type of undergarments should I wear with this dress?
Due to its fitted nature, seamless or invisible undergarments are recommended to ensure a smooth silhouette. A strapless or multi-way bra might be ideal to complement the diamante straps.
Troubleshooting
Diamantes on straps or waistband appear loose or missing.
Handle the dress with care. If a diamante is loose, you may be able to secure it with a small amount of fabric glue designed for embellishments. For missing diamantes, check if any spare parts are provided or contact Ann Summers customer service.
Faux fur trim looks matted or less fluffy.
Gently comb the faux fur with a fine-toothed comb or a soft brush, working in small sections. You can also lightly mist it with water and air dry while gently fluffing with your fingers.
Velvet fabric has flattened areas or marks.
Velvet can be susceptible to pressure marks. To restore the pile, gently steam the affected area from a distance (do not let the steamer touch the fabric). Alternatively, you can hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period.
Dress feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the Ann Summers size chart. While velvet has some stretch, if it's too snug, it might be due to an incorrect size. Consider exchanging for a larger size if available or check garment measurements against your own.
Dress color appears dull after washing.
Always use cold water and a mild detergent specifically for delicate fabrics. Harsh detergents or hot water can strip the color. Ensure thorough rinsing and proper drying to maintain vibrancy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Sizing & Fit
This dress is available in UK women's dress size 20. For accurate fitting, refer to the general Ann Summers size guide, which indicates an X Large is typically equivalent to sizes 20-22. Due to the velvet material, the dress may offer some slight stretch, but it is designed to be form-fitting.
Care Instructions
To maintain the luxurious feel of the velvet and the integrity of the faux fur and diamante embellishments, specific care is essential:
- Hand Wash Recommended: Gently hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing or twisting.
- Do Not Bleach: Bleaching can damage the color and fabric.
- Lay Flat to Dry: Reshape the garment and lay it flat on a clean towel to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage velvet and faux fur.
- Low Iron if Necessary: If ironing is needed, use a very low heat setting on the reverse side, and ideally place a cloth between the iron and the velvet to protect the pile. Avoid ironing the faux fur or diamante sections directly.
- Spot Clean Faux Fur: For small marks on the faux fur, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing of the velvet and to protect the embellishments.
Compatibility
This dress pairs well with simple, elegant accessories that complement its festive and glamorous nature. Consider sheer or opaque hosiery, festive heels or ankle boots, and minimal jewelry to let the dress shine.
